Endangered Wildlife Trust

Since 1973, the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) has been dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern and East Africa to the benefit of all. To achieve this, our strategy focuses on three strategic imperatives: Saving Species, Conserving Habitats, and Benefitting People.

The EWT will be hosting a fundraiser to support the Carnivore Range Expansion Project. From our extensive knowledge and experience, and as carnivore conservation experts, we have developed a reintroduction blueprint to conserve and restore our most threatened carnivores across the African landscape. But we need to act now. Your attendance will secure a donation to our high-impact conservation work, and we promise a great time to be had by all.

Africa’s carnivores are highly celebrated by almost all cultures and attract tourists from all over the world. However, these animals are also in great danger. The main threats they face are habitat destruction and loss of safe spaces in which they are not impacted or threatened by humans. Habitat fragmentation by barriers such as fences or roads is also a significant threat. These barriers prevent animals from reaching other populations to breed. When this happens, animals breed with close relatives, otherwise known as inbreeding. The result is a loss of genetic diversity within populations, weakening their health and ability to evolve adaptations to survive environmental changes brought on by climate change and other human impacts. You can help us conserve them.
